In 1987, I won the job as all-around music person for a new half-hour children's TV show on KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh called "Let's Read a Story". Over the course of four seasons, we made about 40 episodes. The show aired at 7:30am on Saturdays, which guaranteed that nobody I knew would ever catch it! It contained two or three storybook readings per episode, plus a song that was often a Goldberg original, with lyrics by either me or our creator/director Galen Speilman. The show was very popular, and even won a prestigious award for the music. In addition to songs, I wrote the show's theme and improvised musical underscoring for all the story reads. I was also on the set with my electronic keyboards, playing all the music live. (There was rarely any pre- or post-production on the show!) I even had a few spoken lines in every episode. It was a hectic, fun, creative experience! Below you can find the theme to the show, as well as a few of my original songs.

As a result of my relationship with KDKA, I was also hired to supply music for several public service announcement campaigns and other in-house local productions, as well as a locally produced syndicated hourlong special entitled "Secrets of Success", which took interviews with five successful personalities (Oprah Winfrey, Malcolm Forbes, Eileen Ford, Andrew Young, and Michael Landon) and analyzed the traits that helped make them successful. Below are a few tracks from those projects as well.

When I started getting hired for national tours of musicals, I left Pittsburgh for good and never got back to working in television. Perhaps I will again some day, but for now this represents an exciting time early in my career that was all too fleeting.
